The conventional lineage of World Literature starts with Goethe and
moves through Marx, Said, Moretti, and Damrosch, among others. What
if there is another way to trace the lineage, starting with Simone
de Beauvoir and moving through Hannah Arendt, Assia Djebar, Octavia
Butler, Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, and Gayatri Spivak? What ideas
and issues get left out of the current foundations that have
institutionalized World Literature, and what can be added,
challenged, or changed with this tweaking of the referential
terminology? Feminism as World Literature redefines the thematic
and theoretical contents of World Literature in feminist terms as
well as rethinking feminist terms, analyses, frameworks, and
concepts in a World Literature context. Other ideas built into
World Literature and its criticism are viewed here by feminist
framings, including the environment, technology, immigration,
translation, work, race, governance, image, sound, religion,
affect, violence, media, future, and history. The authors recognize
genres, strategies, and themes of World Literature that demonstrate
feminism as integral to the world-making gestures of literary form
and production. In other words, this volume looks to readings and
modes of reading that expose how the historical worldliness of
texts allows for feminist interventions that might not sit clearly
or comfortably on the surfaces.
